Artic Circle, Dalton Highway-Alaska

We did it!We rode our motorcycles to the artic circle-up the Haul Road as the locals call it (Dalton Highway).I am quoting from a brochure on the Dalton Highway: It begins abaout 70 miles north of Fairbanks and ends at Prudhoe Bay-360 miles later.. It is the main supply route for the oil fields. You will be sharing the road with large tractor trailers. Windshields and headlights are easy targets of flying rocks. Most rental companies will not allow you to drive on the road. Trucks speeding along the slippery gravel kick up thick clouds of dust or mud, reducing visibility to absolut zero; potholes take a heavy toll on vehicles.
